The Perfect Autumn Trench Coat

London weather is painfully unpredictable. ☔️ One minute the sun is shining and the next it’s raining. To prepare for any climate I’ve invested in the perfect autumn trench coat…. this gorgeous damson jacket from Jack Wills.

Inspired by the original trench coats of the 1850s, it’s a protective and stylish outerwear staple. I love the signature double-breasted button fastenings, striking statement lapels and gorgeous shade of purple. On warmer days I wear it open then buckle up the straps at the waist and cuffs when it gets colder to feel extra snug and dry. I can wear this coat with anything and love to style it with my jeans and Chloé-esque Medium Cross Body Bag for a laid-back weekend look. You can read more tips on how to style a trench coat here.

In true Jack Wills style, they’ve added a few hidden finishing touches because it’s all about feeling as premium on the inside as you’ll look on the outside. I’m hoping this cropped and timeless wardrobe classic will continue to treat me for years to come – an investment worth making.
